Review of The Sand

The Sand (2015)
6/10
Not as bad as the reviews make out
8 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A group of college kids wake up hung over after a beach barbecue only to discover that if flesh touches the sand, the beach eats it (and the rest of what is connected to it) Who will escape and how? This is a very low budget film made with a cast of unknowns in a single location and, given those limitations, it is done quite well. For instance, a lot of camera-work is low angle which serves two purposes: it gives a "sand-eye" view, and avoids background detail and any continuity or other issues which might otherwise have resulted.

The young cast are attractive and do well enough.

Tension is maintained fairly well throughout.

The CGI - mainly blood and monster filaments/tentacles - is poor. And the resolution is lacking. But it's an OK time-passer.
